5th and 6th

Did report cards come out last night :?:

He lived in Paris during the first years of the Revolution–French one, model for the Russian one!

How about the term, “Getting your rocks off”.

Good guess! :???:

You didn’t get one?

No sure didn’t.

Well I guess I am just SOL :sad:

You’re very welcome – hope it helps. Remember, the space between an event and you producing a reaction to it is never so small that you don’t have the opportunity to make a choice about how you will react.
If your head is getting hot, just drink from your firehose. :lol:
About the report cards, I didn’t get one; your not trying to wind me up, are you? :lol:

thomas jefferson.. coul you investiget the word magnanimous

Nice video !!! Germans also call it Tomate !!!

Isn´t she a beautyful Woman ? Nice dress again :wink:

No sir, Lost for words just ask me if I got one as though he did. I don’t know if they came out or not :???:

No.. the teacher is falling behind! I will try to get some out SOOOOON!!!

No dog? – .5 :shock:

I take that back I am not SOL. :smile:

Ok tell me how you can do that one. :lol: I don’t see any 1/2s or .05 up there.

I’ve always wondered what was the origin of the word VAMPIRE. Can you investigate? :evil:

sorry but somebody had to do it

Wow! Who was that in that video with tomatoes over the eyes and that sexy happy mouth? :smile:

Attack of the killer tomatoes

The tomato vine is poisonous because Tomatoes, as well as Potatoes, are members of the same plant family as Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade).

Homework: Thomas Jefferson sent tomato seeds from Paris to America.

Up above, under the video it says, “Tomatoes STARTED OUT deadly!”. Well, they still are, aren’t they – as in Salmonella a few weeks back.

The very end was hilarious; “Subscribe or Die”. Whewwww! glad I are subscribed x 2; There you go non-subscribers, it’s either an AK-47 or you can get forked to death> :lol: :lol:

As the picture to the last video showed, Fork in hell! :shock:

Hello Marina,
Is there an issue with the Gravatars on this HFW site? My gravatar does not show up when I originate a comment, but shows up as a reply.

Bob’s gravatar has a clickable gravatar when he originates, but not in the reply, and his name is not clickable. Something funny is going on or I didn’t get the memo.

I know you are falling behind… take your time….

http://www.aprilfoolsjokes.info/

Got u! Sorry, couldn’t resist it. Please forgive me….

I changed the gravatars to a caching system as everyone was complaining that they were taking too long to load.. but maybe that has messed things up! Hmmm.. I cam always go back to the original setup.

Well, you have a TA now. If you need a second one, I put in my application. hint, hint… :grin:

Should be fixed now… went back to old system. No caching.. oh well.

Killer Tomatoes?
Shoot back! Have fun!

http://www.tomatoesareevil.com/tomatoshoot.htm

Thats alright that was a good one. But we did get an answer on the report cards. :smile:

Thanks Marina, you are the best!!!
Yes, the gravatar is back. Caching is always a good idea, and maybe the Gravatar / HFW tech folks can get a fix on that.

Just a quick note. I have never had problem with your HFW site, and it has always performed very well for me. In fact it is one of the better performing site over many others. Kisses!! :cool:

i would like to request the word GUM :!:

I love you so much, Marina, you’re the best!!! U rock my socks off and you should have like a college or something that people should go to.

Hey, what is the root an origin of the word college? and does it have anything whatsoever to do wtih the collie dog?

-Shawn

I meant to say root and origin.

Imagine our talented teacher uttering the scripted lines:

“You think I’m drunk, don’t you? All or you …! Well, I’m not! I’m not I tell you … You’ve got to believe me. It was right in the middle of the highway!”

Better nyet, we’ll cast Marina playing the role of someone Fifty Feet Tall.

Pass the popcorn, please.

Green tomatoes can still be deadly as the fruit hasn’t ripened yet, once the fruit is ripened, all the toxin should be gone from the fruit. However with the commercial process used to hasten the fruit to market, artificial ripening of the fruit may leave a small amount of the toxin in the fruit which could build up over time and cause problems.

pedantickarl , what happened to your gravatar, looks like someone through a bucket of grey paint on it?

It is very curious and interesting to see how tomato was just food for highly educated people still at the time of president Jefferson while for instance in Italy tomatoes were already mentioned in a recipes book dating back to 1692. it is also very interesting to compare both history and etymology of TOMATO with the other famous vegetable POTATO,you will realize that they are sooo similar,they really share the same background and pretty the same history :shock: try to give a look :idea: pomodori alla salute :!: помидоры на здоровье :!: tomates à la santé :!:

I was wondering if you could not so much tell me about a word but why we do certain things to words? This is what I want to know: my friend and I tend to makeup short forms of words, for example: ‘dece’ for ‘decent’ and ‘actch’ for ‘actual’ or ‘actually’ and it seems that this really takes off with people around town, I hear many people using these short forms that me and my friend pretty much started here. So that makes me wonder, why do we make up new short forms for words? Do we just like the way they sound?

If you could figure that out that would be greatly appreciated for we both have been wondering why people love to adapt to our new short formed terms.
Your Student Ryan Grant.

Huh? What’s the link between a poisonous plant and a beautiful woman–sounds like misogyny to me…. :shock:

Hey stokesjrj1, thanks for the green tomato info. Then, there is also green fried tomatoes.

My new gravatar is the default gravatar which could be construed to look like a keyhole and guess who that is looking through the keyhole keeping an eye on me? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maia Marina, I got a report card last night in a dream, some guy and two of his thugs came to see me , he was telling me he was the boss around this part of the solar system. I just whipped his ass and his two thugs, ripped the door off his limousine and then they speed away. He had a look of disbelief in his eyes as all this was going on. I don’t think he got the hint though as I was walking back into my abode there he was leaning up against the door frame with a shit eating look on his face. Some guys never learn, huh? Then I woke up.

#50 killer tomatoes is right! :mrgreen:
…wolf peaches? such a misunderstood
vegetable… or is it a fruit? :roll:

Kobe’s voice is changing! Sounded

Nice blouse – like the color
made it easy to think about
the subject of tomatoes :twisted:
Woo Hoo!

Homework: I have a guess
Thomas Jefferson, he was
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
5 stars x 2! ciao

Don’t worry about falling behind we all are capable of waiting for you to catch up.?

Something to do perhaps. Most people cannot just sit around and do nothing all day. People got to get up off their derrière’s and find something to eat for the day if they live in a third world part of the world, and if they happen to be lucky enough to have been born into wealth …? well these type of folks basically just like tennis and golf to wile away the hours of otherwise boredom.

Basically gmoney, it’s to stifle boredom why people do what they do. :grin:

Stick around and you will see this word requested by many others, today,
tonight – tomorrow. Boring boring boring boring :mad:

Don’t feel singled out, not picking on you like i said, stick around long
enough and you’ll see it, too. Usually, people who ask this do not visit,
again. So be different! Maybe you can think of another word?

In 1781, Thomas Jefferson’s table served tomatoes to the diners.

Try a word a big person would use :idea:

Is it worth the effort, melikadothechacha? :roll:

*not* misogyny, it’s plain real history :
in Italian Renaissance the bella donne used to absorb small doses of this poisonous plant to make the pupil of their eyes more wide open, :shock:
( mydriasis), giving them more mysterious/attracting eyes, like a fawn’s.
The say is the plant got its name from the ‘donne’

Very good lesson, dear teacher !

As always when you investigate a word used in the cooking sphere, I’m delighed ! Tomato is such a delicious fruit, I always wondered why we don’t call them ‘pommes d’or’ in French, since they are soo Italian now I know… thanks to you.

May be you should try recording with the cam at your altitude (instead of slightly above ) -just an idea to be tried- maybe would make us feel more kind of ‘discussing words’ with you ?

Well I knew that much lol, but there must be a historical reference to this.
Hence why languages evolve and new ones sprout up.

Great vid teach! Anyways, I have a word that has been bugging me for a long time. It’s probably one of the most common and famous words, yet I’ve never known it’s roots: the word “fuck”. Anways, keep up the good work, looking forward to more vids!

Hi – just stopping by to say that the article about you got so many hits and interested people to see your site that I hope you are getting tons of page views :smile: Today I had to explore why and how the fear of the number 13 affects people so much. I”m not sure why there was new interest in this but I had NO idea people would change their wedding date or plans to avoid the number 13 – wedding dates, hospital rooms, etc.

THat is so interesting about tomatoes! Also, there is a difference between the word for being afraid of the number 13 and being afraid of Friday the 13th but I’m sure you know that. I dream of winning Jeopardy from all I learn here and still think you should take Vanna White’s place on Wheel of Fortune.

I would truly like to know the origin of the word triskaidekaphobia or fear of the numbe 13 which seems to be different from fear of Friday the 13th.

This word request is for “fact”. Your Killer Tomatoes points out that many believed that tomato fruit were deadly because the tomato vine was deadly, i.e. “Guilt by Association” or imperfect logic. (By induction and deduction) the tomato plant was deadly because the vine is and the fruit is deadly because it is part of the plant. It is amazing that this belief lasted so long as an untested fact. So the 1820 demonstration described in Killer Tomatoes indicates how important to intelligence it is to test beliefs, or listen to someone else who has done it.

From the Latin “factum” (an event, occurrence or thing done) related to the Latin “facere” (to do) the history of “fact” progresses to it’s modern sense of “thing known to be true” from the notion of “something that has actually occurred” back in1632. As “the Facts of Life” gained a meaning in sexual functions by 1913 from it’s sense as “harsh realities” from 1854, the history of “fact” is rich with recent usages so diverse as “factoid” and “fact check”.

But even as important as “fact” is to intelligence, how does that make it sexy? After all it’s thought provoking history, “Fact” is a four letter “F word”.

Come on you guys

Don’t make ME start something. I will, You know I will.

Am I in a time warp, or does this question and all its responses repeat itself like 5 times???? I think I’ve lost my mind if it doesn’t!!!! :shock:

wth is up whit this…did I miss something…?

Interesting lesson this one. I’ve been a fan of eating raw tomatoes since I was a small boy and I’ve always heard the legend about them being poisonous. I wasn’t aware that the plant comes from the same family as Nightshade. I have to admit I looked this subject up after watching the lesson and found a site some may find interesting.

http://lamar.colostate.edu/~samcox/Tomato.html

I had no idea who the president was until I read through this article so I will sound off with the others here and say it was Thomas Jefferson.

I still enjoy a good cut up raw tomato with a bit of pepper on it. Nothing beats it for a light summer snack in my opinion.

Once again a stellar lesson Marina.

As for word requests, as you may have already surmised, I love anything Medieval so if you’re of a mind to investigate any words like trebuchet, catapult, Castle, etc etc….I would love you forever…….Well maybe not love, but I’d darn sure like ya a whole lot…. :mrgreen:

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ALL A BOUT :?: :?: :?: :shock: :shock: DHA

Fear not for your sanity, my dear. Instead, you should be tickled pink.

Someday I’ll frame the comment there, and hang it on a wall.

Hmmm…a couple of points & a correction:

1) HW first: Thomas Jefferson, well-known as both an experimental farmer & a president, is said to have helped popularize tomatoes in the US, growing them at Monticello;
2) the tomato is botanically a fruit, and because of this a crafty importer tried to get around a tax imposed on vegetables imported to the US. The Supreme Court ruled against the importer because tomatoes not eaten as dessert food, thus designating the tomato as a vegetable for commerce;
3) also botanically, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, falls into the same plant family, Solanaceae, as the poisonous deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna, and the tomato plants look enough like nightshade to account for the reluctance on the part of people to try the fruits;
4) the correction: everything I read says that the person who ate the tomatoes in Salem was Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson.

now, why are women sometimes called “hot tomatoes” :?:

… :cool:

It’s a trick queation
Didn’t the Tomate [tomato] start out in the New World?
I mean did it ever leave? or just become out of vogue?
Like veraciousness and morality.

I want to know the origin of the word “maximum.”

self-designated moderators seldom are moderate… :cool:

Man, Lisanova gets plugged here a lot :twisted:

“soon” is a very diplomatic response…it’s postive and decisive, yet vague.

let’s see, John Chapman is known by another name and lived during the time of President Thomas Jefferson. so I’ll go with the second name, even though his nickname never was, Tommy Tomatoseed.

her dvds will be out soon, too… :cool:

Hi Marina!
I was wondering if you could look up the origin of “pocketbook” and why we refer to a ladies purse as such… they look nothing like a pocket or a book!
Thanks!
Becca

HI there,
What about the word “Emplor” which I can’t even find in the dictionary! As in “I emplor you to learn more about words”.

Thanks!
Donivan

‘er…you can’t find it because it’s “implore”…

sources say it’s from the latin implōrāre “to invoke with tears”…

i weep, sometimes… :cool:

+HELLO+

+O+

+oooooh+ yeah it hurts

C’mon Marina , please investigate the word ” waiter ” .

yay 125th! Jealous Panda?

Why does they call male and female beautiful and great bodies, SEXY? And why did they call it SEXY?

Is that because it arouses your sexual urges from the words sex when they see a “Sexy” body male or female?

Marina if you can, can you investigate it please.

nice capman.

Hey capman911, you drink a lot of Diet DR. Pepper? Doo Doo says if you drink too much it will make your nuts rot and the maggots will eat then them. Doo is just a cat i have an acquaintance with.

There is space between a proton and a neutron so nothing does NOT exist.

Marina, did you know that “tomato” is also a slang term to refer to someone who is in denial about being a homosexual? You may think a tomato is a vegetable, but it’s really a fruit!

:lol:

So do we have to pay you to use it?

What is the Origin of the SVD (Rifle) It’s in many First-Person shooting games. Please Marina, investigate :wink:

What is the origin of the word “Synopsis”?

Another dime for me. If people are really so curious, why don’t they just look it up?

But, what I’d really like is for you to be my Ginger Rogers, and I’ll be your Fred Astaire.

:grin:

“A word a big person would use”, awesome!

Would a summary be sufficient?

HOAX
Marina, what about this word? Wikipedia says: A hoax is a deliberate attempt to dupe, deceive or trick an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when in fact it is not; or that something is true, when in fact it is false. But… What is the origin? Thank’s. :oops:

Hi,I’m a Chinese student. I love Marina 4-ever because she is so pretty and sexy!!! VOTE FOR YOU!!! :mrgreen:

Indeed, good one.

Maybe you’d wear Ginger’s dress from this video?

cha ching!

only if we can see it all together…

oh, and as for your other conversations, i’d say they pretty much belong in another part of this Universe…all those heavy (iso)topics will simply coalesce to a moot point here.. :cool:

:roll:

Hey where’s cha cha? Oh well another dime for me. Cha ching! Idots.

Shampoo is just the cheap alternative to realpoo. Boy that joke never gets old, eh?

Hmmmm, Tomatoes became safe to eat in Boston in the same year (1820) that Maine declared it’s independence and split off from Massachusetts. YES!

AND what would the teacher think if she was given a Pomme de terre for
her desk? Would she make Freedom Fries with it?

lostforwords, you think you should take that thing back?

Hey Marina,

How about the word “fascination” or “очарование, обаяние, прелесть.” So many people are fascinated with you and your helpful videos.

Someone beat me it is Thomas Jefferson. Я люблю тебя очень сильно!!! :twisted:

apple of gold eh? sounds golden-delicious to me :mrgreen:

Potato…po-tah-to, tomato to-mah-to ;)

Great video, looking sexy as always Marina :grin:

good question anuddermale :cool:

has anyone heard of “hot tamale” being described as sexy/fiesty?

(i.e “She is one hot tamale”)

lol…well, my ex-wife changed our wedding day to avoid conflicting with her favorite college’s (American) football schedule…

and conflict with a rival’s…

maybe i shoulda paid more attention then… :cool:

fuck
a difficult word to trace, in part because it was taboo to the editors of the original OED when the “F” volume was compiled, 1893-97. Written form only attested from early 16c. OED 2nd edition cites 1503, in the form fukkit; earliest appearance of current spelling is 1535 — “Bischops … may fuck thair fill and be vnmaryit” [Sir David Lyndesay, "Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaits"], but presumably it is a much more ancient word than that, simply one that wasn’t likely to be written in the kind of texts that have survived from O.E. and M.E. Buck cites proper name John le Fucker from 1278. The word apparently is hinted at in a scurrilous 15c. poem, titled “Flen flyys,” written in bastard L. and M.E. The relevant line reads:
Non sunt in celi
quia fuccant uuiuys of heli
“They [the monks] are not in heaven because they fuck the wives of Ely.” Fuccant is pseudo-L., and in the original it is written in cipher. The earliest examples of the word otherwise are from Scottish, which suggests a Scandinavian origin, perhaps from a word akin to Norw. dial. fukka “copulate,” or Swedish dial. focka “copulate, strike, push,” and fock “penis.” Another theory traces it to M.E. fkye, fike “move restlessly, fidget,” which also meant “dally, flirt,” and probably is from a general North Sea Gmc. word, cf. M.Du. fokken, Ger. ficken “fuck,” earlier “make quick movements to and fro, flick,” still earlier “itch, scratch;” the vulgar sense attested from 16c. This would parallel in sense the usual M.E. slang term for “have sexual intercourse,” swive, from O.E. swifan “to move lightly over, sweep” (see swivel). Chronology and phonology rule out Shipley’s attempt to derive it from M.E. firk “to press hard, beat.” As a noun, it dates from 1680. French foutre and Italian fottere look like the Eng. word but are unrelated, derived rather from L. futuere, which is perhaps from PIE base *bhau(t)- “knock, strike off,” extended via a figurative use “from the sexual application of violent action” [Shipley; cf. the sexual slang use of bang, etc.]. Popular and Internet derivations from acronyms (and the “pluck yew” fable) are merely ingenious trifling. The O.E. word was hæman, from ham “dwelling, home,” with a sense of “take home, co-habit.” Fuck was outlawed in print in England (by the Obscene Publications Act, 1857) and the U.S. (by the Comstock Act, 1873). The word may have been shunned in print, but it continued in conversation, especially among soldiers during WWI.
“It became so common that an effective way for the soldier to express this emotion was to omit this word. Thus if a sergeant said, ‘Get your —-ing rifles!’ it was understood as a matter of routine. But if he said ‘Get your rifles!’ there was an immediate implication of urgency and danger.” [John Brophy, "Songs and Slang of the British Soldier: 1914-1918," pub. 1930]
The legal barriers broke down in the 20th century, with the “Ulysses” decision (U.S., 1933) and “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” (U.S., 1959; U.K., 1960). Johnson excluded the word, and fuck wasn’t in a single English language dictionary from 1795 to 1965. “The Penguin Dictionary” broke the taboo in the latter year. Houghton Mifflin followed, in 1969, with “The American Heritage Dictionary,” but it also published a “Clean Green” edition without the word, to assure itself access to the lucrative public high school market. The abbreviation F (or eff) probably began as euphemistic, but by 1943 it was being used as a cuss word, too. In 1948, the publishers of “The Naked and the Dead” persuaded Norman Mailer to use the euphemism fug instead. When Mailer later was introduced to Dorothy Parker, she greeted him with, “So you’re the man who can’t spell ‘fuck’ ” [The quip sometimes is attributed to Tallulah Bankhead]. Hemingway used muck in “For whom the Bell Tolls” (1940). The major breakthrough in publication was James Jones’ “From Here to Eternity” (1950), with 50 fucks (down from 258 in the original manuscript). Egyptian legal agreements from the 23rd Dynasty (749-21 B.C.E.) frequently include the phrase, “If you do not obey this decree, may a donkey copulate with you!” [Reinhold Aman, "Maledicta," Summer 1977]. Intensive form mother-fucker suggested from 1928; motherfucking is from 1933. Fuck-all “nothing” first recorded 1960. Verbal phrase fuck up “to ruin, spoil, destroy” first attested c.1916. A widespread group of Slavic words (cf. Pol. pierdolić) can mean both “fornicate” and “make a mistake.” Flying fuck originally meant “have sex on horseback” and is first attested c.1800 in broadside ballad “New Feats of Horsemanship.” For the unkillable urban legend that this word is an acronym of some sort (a fiction traceable on the Internet to 1995 but probably predating that) see here, and also here.
nookie
“sexual activity,” 1928, perhaps from Du. neuken “to fuck.”
frig
“to move about restlessly,” c.1460, perhaps a variant of frisk (q.v.). As a euphemism for “to fuck” or “to masturbate” it dates from 1598.

hey do you have pics of marina

Hey Marina, can u PLEASE! do the word Kudos!!!! Plz do Kudos!!! KUDOS!!!!!!!! Thnx!!!

OK, just for you annuddermale…
shit (v.)
O.E. scitan, from P.Gmc. *skit-, from PIE *skheid- “split, divide, separate.” Related to shed (v.) on the notion of “separation” from the body (cf. L. excrementum, from excernere “to separate”). It is thus a cousin to science and conscience. The noun is O.E. scitte “purging;” sense of “excrement” dates from 1585, from the verb. Despite what you read in an e-mail, “shit” is not an acronym. The notion that it is a recent word may be because the word was taboo from c.1600 and rarely appeared in print (neither Shakespeare not the KJV has it), and even in “vulgar” publications of the late 18c. it is disguised by dashes. It drew the wrath of censors as late as 1922 (“Ulysses” and “The Enormous Room”), scandalized magazine subscribers in 1957 (a Hemingway story in “Atlantic Monthly”) and was omitted from some dictionaries as recently as 1970 (“Webster’s New World”). Extensive slang usage; verb meaning “to lie, to tease” is from 1934; that of “to disrespect” is from 1903. Noun use for “obnoxious person” is since at least 1508; meaning “misfortune, trouble” is attested from 1937. Shat is a humorous past tense form, not etymological, first recorded 18c. Shite, now a jocular or slightly euphemistic variant, formerly a dialectal variant, reflects the vowel in the O.E. verb (cf. Ger. scheissen). Shit-faced “drunk” is 1960s student slang; shit list is from 1942. To not give a shit “not care” is from 1922; up shit creek “in trouble” is from 1937. Scared shitless first recorded 1936.
“The expression [the shit hits the fan] is related to, and may well derive from, an old joke. A man in a crowded bar needed to defecate but couldn’t find a bathroom, so he went upstairs and used a hole in the floor. Returning, he found everyone had gone except the bartender, who was cowering behind the bar. When the man asked what had happened, the bartender replied, ‘Where were you when the shit hit the fan?’ ” [Hugh Rawson, "Wicked Words," 1989]

Ummm…. teacher, lately you start not making sense. You didnt actually tell us where the word tomato comes from (spanish: to swell) but actually went on a wild goose chase after the pronounciation which you ended with a simple: “then some people startied pronouncing differently”.

They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore…loves it :grin:

I got it. How about the origin game of the word crab?

Marina,

GONZO is my word request.

Hey… I love Vanna… nobody does individual letters better or has more experience, she always knows where they are, WoW… She doesn’t age either, or the crew does magic or something. She’s why I watch the show with my wife.
Marina has made her own universe & it is expanding at a rate that sience can’t explain adequetly.
As for the fear of 13, I always thought of it as a bunch of hoo-hoo. My brother & I used to fight over who would get to be #13 on whatever sports team we played. But after I had kids the #13 took on a whole ‘nuther dimension. A # to be feared, for when the kids reached that magic age (13) they were teenagers & would remain so for many years to come &… phew… finally, two have succesfully traversed from the teen years into full blown adulthood (I thought the teen years were scary). One more is pushing the envelope, (literally) he took off to Calgary for a week, driving, much to his mothers shagrin. But alas I have to live with a paceing worrying woman for the rest of the week, (I’m just a tad jealous, he’s having fun whilest I console my wife) I did offer to go with Him, but it seems I’m only a burden to the kids now. When & how did that happen? (I’m still needed when the $$ run out , or the car needs fixing, but am I that boring that they no longer desire my presence & ever watchful eye.Oops I ran my mouth, sorry… It is intersesting though I hadn’t thought about the superstistions being different, Fri13 & 13on its own. Cheers

Sorry its more….. blow , squish , pop , blow, blow , squish , pop , blow, blow, squish , pop, blow , blow……

Not sure what president and I know my history pretty well….could you do the origin of the word cat? Not sure if you only like dogs but figured I could ask. Also I love that you argue with yourself its pretty funny :)

Here ya go PD,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXrmXtSveH4 even though there was a longer “uncut,” version where the boys were lunch, much more graphic, but iI can’t find it any more.

Tomate, 16th century…it was in there, but thanks for making me watch it one more time.

Aww, good ol’ itchy, thanks greenbush! :grin:

Stokesy needs to get some rest. Sounds like you’re hungry labbatt78, Here’s a way to combine your Crab, with tomato dipping sauce , now I’m getting hungry. Cheers

How did the evil city of POMPEII get it name?

Yes, I am hungry. The one with tomato dipping sauce? Hmmmmm, I have never experienced that. It’s always nice to meet anybody who loves crab legs. Cheers!

Marina !

You forgot to say that TOMATOE is a Nahuatl word belonging to the Aztecan language TOMATL. For further etymology mission impossible because TOMATL is to Aztecan what APPLE is to English, maybe a root by itself ?

GONZO is a Germanic word. GONZALES is Hispanic but the Goths occupied Spain during many centuries and gave the word GUNDAZ “fighter”.
In French we had the word GONZE for “boy” but nowadays we say in slang GONZESSE “girl, garl” :grin:

Get over it I am Bringing it back to earth

FASCINATIO is latin and means “sheaving” from FASCES “sheaves”.
When you are fascinated you are “linked”, “bound”.

Firstly, you’re awesome :)
second, i have a non-word suggestion: teach us about the history of languages; how greek and latin spawned german/english and the romance languages and why russian doesn’t seem to completely resemble either, yet uses a permutation of greek for its alphabet.
that sort of thing.

if that seems like its a bit off topic, then i suppose maybe something as simple as the word “question” could be interesting. I mean, was the inclusion of the word Quest intended or just coincidence?

also, thanks for the intro to cocomments – seems like it could be very handy

billyb quiet?

Hi gr1pp, I asked for something similar a few weeks back such as the meaning of Slavic languages, Indo / European roots, Latin roots and so forth. It’s a fascinating field with lots of intrigue and controversy whereby Marina could make many videos covering this topic or a themed series.

hey, u should talk about the origin of the saying “the hang of it” such as “now you’ve got the hang of it!”. thanks

Marina, I think it would be interesting to explain the tomato, tomahto and stuff is…. :?: psst :arrow: …movies

Also can you explain the difference in meaning between to connote and to denote; or connotation and denotation? It seems that they might mean the same thing; so why two words?

MAGN-ANIMUS is Latin ! MAGNUS ANIMUS = GREAT SOUL
When you have a great soul you can forgive.

Dear Marina,
does “trainer” (or “to train”) have anything to do with trains?

i used to work in a college english center with a few professors that would always tell me about these things. you right, a very interesting and deep topic

Well spotted, roadrunrnch,
According to Wikipedia they probably originated in the western highlands of South America and were grown by the Aztecs.

stokesjrj1 , do you have a reason for making these stupid random comments….

Request word “Banner” :shock: Hotforwords must discuss it :lol:

We say, “Use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. IT WILL IDENTIFY THE QUALITY OF YOUR CHARACTER, IMMEDIATELY.”

Dear Marina,
I have always been wondering what is the difference between the words paradise and heaven?

Thank you
Keep up the good work!

Easy, Marina… don’t feel pressured to hurry or rush anything.

…We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait…

is part of a quote in my email, so be encouraged, you do a great job, go at your own pace & you will teach also patience, one of the most precious things to learn, hey I’ve
got a long way to go myself.
Teaching should be delightful, brat control, doesn’t seem to matter what age huh. Triggers (ak-47) & anchors (cp’n Jack ‘ll loan you some), working in a positive direction… keeping it fun for you too Marina, you are delightful, so be delighted. cheers

I had this weird dream. Have you ever said that? I have and I know other who have also. Dreams are strange of course, they are limitless imagination playing out our desires and fears. So why do we say Weird? OK, this is what i found. Weird come from old English and before that from the German ‘wyrd’, which means fate or destiny.
So, are we really saying I had a destiny dream? Has the real meaning of weird been taken from us? To be replaced with a weird that means strange or queer. Would you please explain the origins of those two words as well.
thank you,
you are CHARMING

I once saw a racing sailing catamaran, in the South of France, which had a huge picture of a reclining bikini model painted on the side, with the name “Speedy Gonze à l’Aise” (Speedy Gonzalez).
I thought it was quite clever at the time, but now I’m wondering if the model was a “ladyboy”.
Maybe there was an apostrophe at the end of “Gonze”, I don’t remember.

Thanks for the insight, ya hot little tomato…. :razz:

Origin of the word “blond” please :-)

Thanks !

Origin of the word “zit”, please!!!!!!! Thanks Marina!!!!!!!!

Dearest Teach,

My fork stabbing a luscious killer tomato (however pronounced) accompanied by a dry martini (with soccer-ball sized olives) is enough to kidnap my taste buds (and my heart)! But I’m no phony so as I contemplate life on the throne where all men do their best thinking (i.e. the loo) I asked myself who is truly making a difference in this crazed world? You are! Thanks so much for inspiring us to embrace language in a fun and exciting and intellectually challenging new way. So I offer you this most exuberant encomium (now that would be a good word for you to research!) and ask would you consider something frivolous and light and with a background unknown to me? I was thinking of the word canoodle!

Your student, Quiggles

Can you talk about how some odd plural forms of words came to be, such as child and children or alumnus and alumni
thanks,

Hey..id like to know the origin of “Indeed” :mrgreen:

i say it all the time to agree with someone…but it would be nice to know where it comes from

Why do we add “es” to make a word like tomato plural but for most words we simply add an “s” ?

I think the president was thomas jefferson

why is a “blow job” called like this it is more a “sucking job”. thank you to explain and give any demonstration needed

Hello, everyone. Here is felicity. Apparently I am a person who still has used a tomato as a decoration plant, bacause I have totally forgotten it staying in the fridge for many days. It looked like decking the cool space hotly. The color indefinable…… anyway, it’s still deadly at least in my world. Be careful, Marina.

Fascinating – I need more lycopene!!

Greetings,

How did the phrase “hood-winked” get started?! And where does it come from?

Privet Marina :-)

I don’t have a word request as much as a language request.

I am busy learning Russian… it’s early days yet, but I’m getting there. I enjoyed your Russian AK-47 video very much… especially since I could compare the English and Russian versions and learn a bit more about the Russian language in an engaging way.

My request is for you to pretty pretty please do some more Russian-language videos. I am sure we will see an upsurge in interest in Mother Russia’s tongue when you are the teacher…

With bated breath I await the reply to and result of this diminutive missive.

A.

How about the word “remember”?

A.D.I.D.A.S.

HOTFORWORDS!! Regarding your lesson on the word loo, nobody knows its origin i saw them on tv trying to find the origin so it could go in the oxford dictionary. the 2nd origin was on there but another one was something about a lady called lady louise. she was always going to the loo and i think that around the house the servants called it the lady lou and the name got more popular until its adaptaion now of loo. i think its like that anyway cant quite remember. but i dont think they solved the origin.

James

I want to request the word “roulette”, and by he way about the Russian Roulette, which is really deadly not like the tomatoes….

Hello, again. Is ‘tomato’ considered a fruit in the US and Russia? Isn’t it one of vegetables?

Why does they call male and female beautiful and great bodies, SEXY? And why did they call it SEXY?

Is that because it arouses your sexual urges from the words sex when they see a “Sexy” body male or female?

Marina if you can, can you investigate it please.

felicity:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato

“Its fruit is classified, botanically, as a berry.”

No arguing with the Wikipedia :-)

Great, Hitman! i also requested this already twice :!: i really hope that with your help Marina will be convinced to make us gift of an awesome video about it :cool: спасибо тебе огромное,всего доброго :smile:

my mum put tomatoes in a sandwich of mine today THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TOLD MY PARENTS I HATE TOMATOES!!

Oh.. thanks for pointing out the Johnson.. must go add it to video as an annotation. As for why women are sometimes called “hot tomato”? It’s because we’re deadly.. oh wait a minute…

Now you can tell her they’re deadly, along with that darn fork!!

I don’t like tomatoes in sandowiches, either! Bread wettted by water of them really makes me feel sick! Why do they have to combine the 2 things that are not compatible with???

jamesington, was it a show in England that you saw?

It’s short for nubile.

Where did the word/s sadism and/or masochism come from? I believe masochism is an eponym, named after a Count or something like that.

I have been watching the Kill Bill movies, and both those words are used.

“Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I’d like to believe that you’re aware enough even now to know that there’s nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other… jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most masochistic.”

They will come back around BillyB mine did when they reached their 20s or so. You will never be a burden here just a blessing. MIke

As in Femme Fatale, you’re right. Mwah!

Picnic …. in the spirit of the summer!

how about chicken fingers? i don’t think chickens have fingers

I saw this too (in America) but I can’t remember the show. It was about 6 months ago.

I was trying to speak in Utubish so not to misunderstood by the New People to this site from the land of Tube of You-s
Simple and to the point?

No, it is short for newbee which is slang for someone who is new to something. Online gamers seem to be the ones who shortened it to ‘noobs’

I wrote an article called ‘the noobs’

Lets throw tomatoes at him and get his white fur all red. :lol: :lol: Since he doesn’t like the red fruit. :smile:

I was thinking about the expression “Gardez l’eau.” As it is, it means “Keep the water” (imperative). The French verb “se garder”, not garder (to keep, to conserve) means to be careful of something. So, I believe that that expression may be anglicized like “entrée” which in France is not the main course of a meal, but the appetizer! Of course, right, it is the entry course. So like this example, “Gardez l’eau” should be “Gardez-vous d’eau!”: Watch out for the water!

How about a potato with a newscaster. A commontater.

Marina,
How many corpora line your path of your life? Is the road littered with the broken lives and crush spirit of Your past encounters? :roll:

Ps (don’t answer just playing)

Speaking of fatale, you DO know that the most fatal of your videos are the ones where you sit close to the lens and then lean in close with those “jeepers creepers, where did you get those peepers,” don’t you?

Lets throw a pig on the barbie. Very nice article. My cousan hunts out in the west. He is or used to be a guide for hunting parties. He also wrote articles in different magazines as you have. I have never met him, but have read some of his articles. His name is Dick Idol. Good hunting Geronimo. :cool:

Hey where the Captain, his avatar has been MIA for a while. Did he put to sea broken-hearted, or just go down with his ship? We all same boat there :lol:

REMEMBER is taken from the old French REMEMBRER = to take back together the members, the limbs, the elements of your memory.
The root is latin MEM-BRUM “limb”. Certainly connected to Slavic *MEM-SO “meat” but with another suffix. Modern Russian МЯСО.

Hi felicity how are you, here in America it is considered a fruit. Why I don’t know. It is grown in a garden with other vegetables and supposed to be kin to a potato. Maybe some one else can add some more information for you. :smile:

he he real nice… :smile:
i was just thinking about Mary-Go-Round, does it have any connection to Mary going round somewhere? :grin:

Her close ups are …Venomous, But in a good way.
Only fatal to your will to resist Her. :shock:

I am going to help Marina because she must be overwhelmed with questions.
TO TRAIN is completely connected to RAILWAY TRAIN : the words are French. TRAIN comes from TRAINER “to drag”. A railway train is “dragged”. TO TRAIN somebody is TO DRAG a man, to pull him, to stretch him. But of course French is the descent of Latin and the root of the French TRAIN is TRAG-MEN in Latin where TRAG- is the stem “dragging” and -MEN the suffix meaning “thing being”. TRAMEN is then logically “the dragged thing” or “the dragging thing”. You find the same root in TRACTION. It’s really an endless story but so interesting.

Here America especially the south we eat a lot of tomato sandwiches. There is nothing like a home grown tomato thickly sliced with mayonase between two pieces of bread. I know it’s not everyones most etible food, but it is ours. I love tomatoes diced up on scrambled eggs and no taco would be the same without cut up tomatoes on it. Sorry if this isn’t to your likeing, I guess it’s what you are raised up on. :smile:

How does fingernail polish taste with your food if you don’t use a fork? I have seen some nicely done and costly fingernails polished to nines.( one lesson learned “9s”) It would be shame to find one lying in your shrimp cocktail. :grin:

Bob,
You do try the hardest to understand me. No one has come close.
Pissing in the wind to make a point is nothing new. If I stand up in a crowd , I must expect to catch crap from all sides.
Standing up makes Me a target. And not unlike the windshield of your car, I must take the onslaught of debris to keep all of you safe and clean by saying what is on everyone’s mind or at least some of you, :roll:

But don’t I, by giving you all a common foe to attack, making you stronger?
Is it not fun to rip on RRR. Come on and see what kind of crap he is up to today? I am the Guy You love to Hate!
But don’t tell any one else. It’s a secret.
notRRR
shhh…….

And se souvenir–prefix sous is like dessous? Like the under in under-stand? So, to come under literally? Se rappeller is obvious to call back to onself.

No, because it’s MERRY-go-round.
Presumably, you would need to be quite merry to contemplate going on such a ride. Another name for the same thing is a roundabout.
No tomatoes at this party but I believe Dougal was Kobe’s Great Great Great Grandfather.

Aren’t the Latin verbs traho and tracto? I can’t think of a verb root meaning to pull or drag with a t r a g…

I have Venustrapaphobia – fear of being eaten by a giant flesh-eating plant. :lol:

hello Marina,
how about the phrase, tin foil hat.
thank you

Thomas Jefferson was the president. :lol:

Sadism comes from the French 18th century writer the Marquis de Sade. Masochism was first employed by a psychiatrist Krafft-Ebbing who look it from the name of the Austrian writer Sacher-Masoch.

Sorry Teach
I look at the video again there was a dog +.5 New total 5 stars.

Thanks.

Okay here’s a tricky one, Marina.

Why does anti-Semitism mean a dislike or hatred of Jews when, in fact, The semites, as a category of peoples, includes both Arabs and Jews. If so anti-Semitism is misapplied most of the time today.

But I want to die like a rat :twisted:

:lol:

I don’t hate you RRRoadhog; every court needs a fool (in the sense of a clown or a JesterRRR) and in the Court of the RRRussian Queen you are obviously trying to be the Jester; or maybe trying to replace RRRasputin.

Hello Marina, first time on here. You caught my eyes on Youtube and I share your interest in words and languages. You do a great job and it is all very interesting. Now, to get to the point.

The word I would like to contribute with would be “threshold”. It could be, at least in my opinion, one of the most beautiful words of the English language.

Another word I would like to know more about is “tranquility”, also a word I find very beautiful.

(Advance could also be a word I would like to know more about)
Thanks in advance

Patric

He’s either on a charter or teaching a class some where. Don’t worry, he’s like Arnold HE’LL BE BACK :lol: :lol:

If they did I would put hot suace on them and eat them :lol: :lol:

I am glad you answered that on LFWs. I looked up the word masochistic and didn’t care to much for it’s meaning. :shock:

Wow Rasputin?
Do you give me a little more credit then I deserve? I am not in any way an adviser. I think you do a great disservice to Rasputin by Comparing Him To me.
But thanks for the thumbs up. :wink:

Can you tell me, Why it it that I find the Spabish word for tomato differently from yours? The English word tomato comes from the Spanish tomatl, first appearing in print in 1595. I found this on about.com!!

I want to know origin of word Wannabe.
Thx!

yeah……., could you do toothbrush to…. -.- :???: pfffff

O alright thanks

Good to know :smile:

lol, they do have feet :P you can buy them at like every toko lol, seems to me they’re kinda boney

Capitain Sensible

Patric – I like the words you’ve chosen, having always found threshold to sound lovely and also wondered about it.

I like tomatoes, but not in sanwiches, it makes it all wet and mushy :S yuk

Hey my teacher!

A word request. Can you help with the word Widget?

Huf, Huf, my dear teacher…

Pete from the FrequencyCast podcast

I wonder if the deadly reputation of tomatoes is why they are considered part of the night shade family, along with eggplants. Some people still avoid them because of that but I don’t see why they’d be any harder on the system than any other food, except for the acid in them (heartburn, maybe?)

But Bob, Rasputin rogered the whole court and most of Moscow….. :wink:

Tomato is considered a fruit, a berry to be more exact, i tought it was because it grows on a woody plant.

My daughter can’t ear them. It makes her break out in hives and her lips swell up.

that should be eat not ear.

capman – No problem. I wasn’t sure if night shade was two words or should look like this: nightshade. I just winged it :wink: Your typo was far more interesting than mine (if I made one) though.

Yes it was rather funny her sticking them in her ear :lol:

What if we want to bringing something to class for our teacher? :razz:
Should it be an apple or a love apple,,, or something Candy Apple Red? :oops:

I went to your UTube site and there were 90,182 subscribers. Ten minutes later its up to 90,191. What are you going to feed all of these people. :lol:

Marina, my sweet, please do “by and large.”
Thank you!

I think she would love about anything from a member of her class. :cool:

I’ve asked this before: what the f**k is up with AtheneWins. What is that? Have he, it or them just figured out how to jack subscriptions with bots or something? I mean who wants to watch that, those……..? You can fill it in

That’s a lot of Peach and Strawberry Crepe’s

MMMM yummmy :grin:

Yea Foxbow you are right on the chicken feet (ie) fingers. I didn’t think of it that way. :grin: I guess it all tastes like chicken :cool:

I have MY FORK ready :cool:

Hi, I was wondering if you have ever heard the Southern Slang… Ya’ll, Where did it come from? Was it a shortened version of you all, and why is it that just Southeners say it?

Humm, wouldn’t want to be Evil :evil: and insult the Lady. :eek:
How would you eat a Freshly Cooked Crepe with your Hands? :?:
How about we Let Teacher Feed Us by Her Hand. :lol:

Marina is this what you are going to do to us if we join your spy club. :smile:

Thank you! I think “traho” is the verb, which does not prevent “tragmen” to be the substantive, possibly. I confess I prefer Marina´s explanations ;-) BUT I am really curious about many words! I used to be so before I found out about Marina noe week ago.

Remember back in the old movies how the star would lay his head in her lap and she would feed him grapes or crepes. :twisted:

She’s like crack, one hit and your addicted…and lostforwords

Shame marina did not bite into a Big juicy Ripe tomato….and as she bites into it ….some of the juice dripps down her front……..oh man…..my dreams………maybe the next fruit or vegtable she talks about we acn see her eat it…… :wink: :smile:

the word i would like marina to talk about is Effect…..like Special Effect. Stan winston was like a hero to me and he died on the 15th june his work goe’s into terminator, aliens , preditor ect……great special effects man .
So……the word effect would be great ……oxoxoxoxoxox :cool:

Dear marina. (going bacj to lady lou)yes it was a show in england, and it was about 6 months ago i found some more info on it It’s short for “Lady Louisa,” Louisa being the unpopular wife of a 19th-century earl of Lichfield. In 1867 while the couple was visiting friends, two young wiseacres took the namecard off her bedroom door and stuck it on the door of the bathroom. The other guests thereafter began jocularly speaking of “going to Lady Louisa.” In shortened form this eventually spread to the masses. which i retreieved from http://www.kottke.org/05/02/loo-etymology .. James xxxx

alumni is just its Latin plural. Alumnus is a plain Latin word.

I ask that question myself everyday:P and i have totaly no idea, he supposedly is the best palladin in Worl Of Warcraft, other than that I can’t think of any reason wy anyone would subscribe to him..

its so nice to have 2 replies from u they really make brighten up my day especially as people used to give me bad looks in school because I told them to say “wrote” as “writ” is not correct , a bit odd as im 16! Every time i turn on my phone now it says “I am calling for all forks to be banned!” Love that line Take care x

Who’s P foxbow15?

lol is not a word :wink:

they’re supposed to be real capman911 :shock:

Marina,
Can you please find the origin of “Extravaganza”

Thnx,
Famousxblayzez

no obligation…..I guess I’m having a duh moment….

God damn Marina your acute. :wink: By the way, whats the origin of the word “boobytrap” ? Sounds like a funny word, but no perversion intended. Ha.

Get at me
Matthew

That was a cool article on the loo James. Very good reading. I have a palm pilot just like yours that I carry. Cheaper than the real version. :smile:
Mike

:roll: Marina how did the word big and small come from I ask because I have big boobs and my sister says I have big boobs and she has small boobs so she says no no no i have bigger breasts and you don’t so stop it and that makes me frustrated :mad:

Is that a joke? sorry if i being slow but i dont have a palm pilot :neutral: ALSO Marina as you said forks should be banned and are now probably sick to death of me commenting I decided tomorrow i shall film myself eating but only thing that involve forks, which i won’t be using. so its tiramisu for breakfast (eaten with hands) and what ever is for tea (eaten with hands) if i send you the link i would be grateful for you to have a look and comment xx

Yes James the Palm Pilot was a joke. I use a piece of paper just like you to keep notes on. Forgive me if it didn’t sound like a joke. No Marina isn’t sick of you commenting. The more comments the better. I would be happy to view your video and so would Marina. :smile:

ok then i will post an address when i make it.. My nan was telling me not to end sentences with prepositions when i was 9 then i started telling people not to do it last year then everybody thought i was weird.. lol. Have you been teachers pet before?

No I havn’t been the teachers pet. I am still hoping. The new video is up and posted.

I would like to know the origins of the word Sandwich.

Hi Marina,
I heard that the word F.U.C.K. is coming from “Fornication Under Control of the King”, when in UK on past centuries couples need permission from the King to make children, and once received the permission the house door was red marked with F.U.C.K. something like a “do not disturb”. Could you confirm that and maybe better explain this funny story?
Thanks a lot and best wishes for all

Sorry for my English and greetings from Italy
Dario

well, i certainly would be more than willing to take a chance on your deadly charms…

which, it is obvious, are MAN-I-FOLD… :cool:

Hi Marina,
I guess this is a word request: POTATO
:?: I saw your video on how people use to think that tomatoes were considered poisonous. When I was a kid, my mom use to say the same thing about potatoes. So it got me thinking that since potato rhymes with tomato, I was wondering if my mom misheard and told it to me wrong or if people ALSO use to consider potatoes poisonous? This may sound like a stupid question, but I am seriously confused. I don’t know how many people out there can relate or are asking for this word. But could you post a video to clear up any confusion. Thanks.

Yea his videos are crap! But I have to say Wow is a very popular game and he is just riding the wave…

Don’t worry she is working on that. I think she has some fixes in the works.

Rathan than request this word again since everyone does, how about a request of a week-long series on the 7 Dirty Words, in honor of George Carlin’s passing?

Thomas Jefferson

TOMATOES ARE NOT GOLDEN APPLES

1
The expression golden apple comes from pomme d’or in french

2
Pomme d’or is traduction of pomodoro, italian evolved from latin

3
The latins took it from a legend of ancient greece

4
The legend said that far away crossing the seas (mediterranean sea)
existed some trees sent by the gods which fruit, similar to an apple, was made of gold

5
Because of the tree, the flowers and the fruits assembled to apples,
greeks called this fruits, the golden apples

6
Later, when they reached the east spanish coasts, in 5th-4th century B.C. found them, and realized that these fruits were not apples.

7
Tomatoes were brought to europe in the 16th century

So tomatoes couldn’t be that golden apples
Maybe the pomme d’amour
But that happened a lot of centuries later

¿¿COULD ANYONE GUESS WHAT FRUIT WAS THAT …
GOLDEN APPLE??

AND GREAT JOB MARINA
I ONLY TRIED TO HELP
YOU THE BEST

Peachy! :oops:

love the way you say tomato :smile:

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the note at the Clam show. I couldn’t comment in that area for some strange reason, I logged in and I still couldn’t reply threre, oh well. I’ve been reading along and have seen some crazy comments. So I figured that I’d just “lurk” since I didn’t want to get so involved that I got into a word war. You had it out with someone and this time Bob talked you into staying- I remember I helped you stay the last time that happened. I’m glad that you did. Have a great day.

:roll:

Hi Marina:

Good to know that the origin is from the spanish word tomate. On the other hand I would like that you look for the spanish word GRINGO. Finally, you look gorgeous, lovely and pretty with your red dress. Also a final request.. Please let your hair grow longer. You look fantastioc with long hair.

Akiss for you and thanks for your efforts to educate us.

thomas jefferson

moynf (milk out your nose funny) :cool:

Thomas Jefferson perhaps. he liked France.

You did a fantastic bit of investigation here very enjoyable.

Was the show called “Balderdash and Piffle” presented by Victoria Coren, where they invite members of the public to find the earliest recorded use of certain words for the OED?
Balderdash and Piffle! Where the “Fork” do those words come from and what do they mean?

I would like to know the origins of the word “Potato” too also why here in England we also call them “Spuds”.
Sometimes on potato plants you get what is known as potato “bells”, They are seeds of some sort and look like small green tomatos, I have been told that they are poisonous, this may be what your Mum had heard about.

It might be time for a name change…..but thats just me. :grin:

tomato

first one didn’t work tomato

They served tomatoes at Monticello?

eau well…

Hi Marina.

I realize I’m commenting late, but tomate come from the nahuatl lengiaje spoken by the aztecs (tomatl). Tomatl, however, applied to the small, green tomatoes, while for the red tomatoes, the word xitomatl (pronounce the x as sh) was used. These two words are still used in Mexico.

Regards,

HG

Hi Marina! Here’s great quote for this lesson: “Only two things money can’t buy, that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes!” It’s a song sung by Guy Clark. Here’s link to the song if you have never heard it before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nitgmAInI18 I think it’s a great little song! :cool:
By the way, I love homegrown TOMATOES!!!! :grin:

:oops: I need a couple of A’s for my comment! :oops: Here’s A great quote: Here’s A link:

It is originally Tomatl. That’s also the present word in Nahuatl.

TOMATL —–> TOMATE —-> TOMATO

don’t know if they are afrodisiacs. I don’t think so. But It is well known that tomatoes are good for the taste of the semen

afrodisiac.

Nahuatl being the language of the Aztecs of Mexico.
“Tomato” used to be slang for a beautiful woman. E.g., a generation or two ago, Marina might have been called a “tomato”.
“aphrodisiac” comes from Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love.
